Is ALL-WHEEL DRIVE Essential?

Why 4x4 Isn't the Only Answer

A Necessity or Just a Habit? It depends.

When it comes to vehicles built for Norwegian and North European conditions, there is no need to automatically opt for a 4×4. Let’s show you why Paxster Utility could be the perfect solution for your requirements, even without 4×4.

A Solid Test of CAPABILITY

Experience from Posten Norge

Its not without reason the Norwegian Post has been using Paxster for over 10 years, from the coldest winter days in the north to rainy autumn days in the south. Their feedback is clear: Paxster Utility offers superior maneuverability compared to many other vehicles in their fleet. 

"It's much better to drive than a regular car when there's black ice, and in fact, several people here at the office prefer to use a Paxster over a regular car.," says Strand in an interview with Oppland Arbeiderblad.

An Unbeatable Combination

Optimal Weight Distribution

One of Paxster’s key advantages is its exceptional weight distribution and low center of gravity. With an impressive 80% of the weight (excluding load) positioned over the rear axle, combined with high-quality winter tires, Paxster delivers optimal traction. This setup ensures superior stability and grip exactly where it’s needed most.

When Is 4x4 Really Necessary?

4×4 has its place, especially in terrains that require exceptional maneuverability on uneven surfaces, such as forestry, hunting, or sports. However, Paxster Utility is designed for a different purpose: to be a reliable, versatile, and user-friendly solution for on-site use in estates, local counsils, industrial areas, camping, golf, sports arenas, facility management and more –  even under challenging weather conditions. 

A Simple Solution

Chains for Extra Grip

If you ever find yourself in a situation where extra grip is needed, Paxster can easily be equipped with chains on the rear wheels. This gives you the flexibility you need without the need for a 4×4 system that you’ll rarely use.

A True Winter Workhorse

Tested for Snow Plowing

Paxster has been tested in demanding winter conditions, including snow plowing in up to 20 cm of heavy spring snow. The results are impressive—Paxster delivers and exceeds expectations for what a 2×4 vehicle can achieve.

Focus on What Counts

Rather than getting caught up in the number of drive axles, it’s more important to consider how a vehicle’s overall features will meet the demands of your work. Paxster’s balanced weight distribution, reliable performance, and versatile design ensure that it’s equipped to handle the tasks you need to accomplish, no matter the conditions.
